Ok i need help in deciding what size i should get. They are OZ Superleggeras.

17 - Cheaper, cheaper tires, wider selection of tires, not as harsh of a ride.

18 - Looks awsome, cost more, tires are more, worry about bending a rim.

Still don't know what size. Car is not a daily driver, if i track it i will put the stock rims back on. So i am leaning more towards 18's.

18's do have its disadvantages...but I’d get them because the positives are far greater and they look much better

17's are good performance wise and all, however if you were going for performance it be best to roll on the 16's or under.

I say go all out and get the 18's...in the end I prefer my 18's and Superleggeras on 18's would be kickass...Good luck

If you want it to look pimp go with the 18s, hell, it will look pimp with 17s, just cooler to say you have 18s :D

If this is for an S2000, 18's will kill it's torque. Hell, 17's will most likely slow it down a fair amount. Have fun with an even more significantly torqueless wonder.

Word, 18's look much better and it filled the wheel well up very nicely
